Islam's presiding stance on human nature states that man is solely good. This dissertation reveals from Islamic sources, however, that human nature is actually dual. The Qur'an not only attests that fitrah's innate good compels man to believe in Allah, but also to a Commanding Soul which incites him to perpetrate evil.
